Notes:
The mucosa of the turtle bladder was separated from underlying tissue by blunt dissection and its composition characterized. Although large amounts of non-epithelial tissue were removed by the dissection, a considerable amount of connective tissue and a small amount of smooth muscle were always present in the isolated layer. The epithelial cells were described and anatomical features of significance in water and ion transport studies examined. The columnar epithelial cells of the mucosal layer were arranged in clusters bounded by crypts. The cells were larger near the bladder neck than in the distal regions of the bladder. Single smooth muscle cells were found immediately beneath the epithelial cell layer. Long intercellular channels separated the cells. Possible roles of these features in water and ion transport were discussed.
